Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 National Mentoring Programs grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3435) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), under CFDA 16.726 (Juvenile Mentoring Program). Its purpose is to help established national mentoring organizations strengthen and/or expand mentoring services delivered through their existing local infrastructure, meaning their local chapters or subawardee networks. The solicitation emphasizes mentoring models that include traditional one-on-one mentoring, group mentoring, and peer mentoring, with a clear focus on reaching at-risk and underserved youth populations.
Programmatically, OJJDP is looking for applicants that can demonstrate how their mentoring activities will address conditions and risk factors that often contribute to juvenile delinquency or other problem behaviors. In practical terms, proposed projects should show an understanding of what drives negative outcomes for vulnerable youth and how mentoring relationships and structured supports can reduce those risks while improving positive youth development. The opportunity also highlights “expansion†as more than simply serving additional youth; it frames growth as creating new opportunities for mentee achievement, suggesting an expectation that programs will be intentional about outcomes such as school engagement, prosocial behavior, stable adult connections, and other measurable progress points.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be national organizations, specifically organizations with active chapters or subawardees in at least 45 states. The solicitation makes it clear that a coalition or collaborative of two or more independent organizations cannot combine their coverage to meet this definition; the applicant must be a single national organization that independently meets the 45-state presence threshold. Applications must be submitted by the national headquarters office, not by local affiliates. Once awarded, OJJDP requires that 90 percent of the award be passed through as subawards to local chapters or subawardees in at least 38 states where the organization already has a presence. This requirement signals that the federal government intends the bulk of funding to support direct local service delivery rather than being retained at the national office level. For-profit entities may apply only if they agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that funds should be used for program services rather than corporate gain. The solicitation also limits service recipients to youth age 17 or younger at the start of mentoring services.
From an administrative standpoint, the grant was posted on February 26, 2013, with an application deadline of April 29, 2013, and an archive date of May 29, 2013. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for eligible organizations. The listing shows an award floor and ceiling of $0, which typically indicates that exact award amounts were not specified in the summary record and would instead be detailed in the full announcement.
Finally, the solicitation notes that OJJDP expected the program to be authorized through an act appropriating FY 2013 funds for the Department of Justice, reflecting the normal dependency of federal grant programs on congressional appropriations. For application or technical assistance, applicants were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for help accessing the full announcement and navigating solicitation requirements, with support available by phone, email, and web chat during specified business hours and extended hours on the close date.
